Chapter 854 Even betraying one's own people

Yuwen Kun frowned, covering his mouth and nose with his sleeve in disgust. He found a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Lin Yuesha to rinse her mouth.

"No, no!"

Lin Yuesha shook her head like a rattle drum, but who knew what was inside the porcelain bottle!

Next, she will rescue Xu Da. Consider the fright she just suffered as compensation for her mental distress from Helian Cheng. She is now filled with regret. Curiosity killed the cat. She never thought she would fall into such a trap. It was all her fault!

The two entered the dungeon through the tunnel, and Lin Yuesha was surprised to find that the dungeon was empty and Xu Da was nowhere to be seen.

"Something's not right. My cousin is being held here. Could it be that Helian Cheng has moved him to a different location?"

Lin Yuesha was shocked. She saw a fallen guard next to her, but the cell door and the padlock on Xu Da's body showed no signs of being damaged.

"Xu Da has been rescued."

Yuwen Kun's expression was unreadable; he guessed that they were Qi Heng's men.

"Impossible, if he were here, why wouldn't he save me?"

Lin Yuesha vehemently denied that Qi Heng was hiding in Helian City's mansion, but Lin Yuesha knew that he did not have the key and therefore would not act easily.

"It's him."

Yuwen Kun took out his purse and emptied it. The key he had copied at the market was gone; it had been stolen without his knowledge.

Qi Heng's plan was ingenious; he was like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Yuwen Kun wanted to give Lin Yuesha a big gift, but Qi Heng beat him to it. So, what's next? Will he take Lin Yuesha away from him?

Yuwen Kun's expression turned cold. He turned and gave Lin Yuesha a deep look, feeling betrayed.

"Qi Heng rescued Xu Da, but ignored me completely, haha."

The big devil suspects her!

Lin Yuesha was filled with a strong will to survive; her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked heartbroken.

She and Qi Heng agreed to act according to circumstances. Under normal circumstances, if Yuwen Kun rescued Xu Da, Qi Heng would take advantage of the situation and kidnap him.

At present, it is obvious that a change has occurred, forcing Qi Heng to change his strategy.

"Only I, the city lord, have never used you as a bargaining chip."

Yuwen Kun was furious. He had spent money and effort, and even acted as a petty thief, all in the hopes of making Lin Yuesha owe him a favor. Little did he expect that all his efforts would benefit Qi Heng.

"Women have a hard life; they are born to depend on others."

Lin Yuesha wiped away her tears, deeply immersed in the role.

Compared to the unpredictable Yuwen Kun, it's safer to stay by Qi Heng's side. But if she weren't so deeply involved with Qi Heng, Lin Yuesha would definitely choose to stay out of trouble.

"Let's get out of here first."

Yuwen Kun's eyes darkened, and his body felt hot; this feeling was not unfamiliar.

He never got close to women, and countless maids in Sishui City, eager to climb the social ladder, had given him this stuff.

Yuwen Kun never tolerated such behavior; those people's graves are now overgrown with weeds.

As he was thinking, there was a noise from one side of the tunnel, as if someone had entered.

Yuwen Kun pulled Lin Yuesha back along the same route from the other side, returning to Helian Cheng's courtyard once again.

Flames were shooting into the sky in the courtyard; no wonder the tunnel had been filled with black smoke.

Judging from the situation, Yuwen Kun knew things were not going well.

The scene was extremely chaotic. Besides his men, at least two or three other groups took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters. Helian Cheng could no longer sit still in his coffin and ran out to fight.

"Fire! Put it out quickly!"

While dealing with the men in black, Helian Cheng also had to direct his men to put out the fire, resulting in a chaotic scene.

"Find a place to hide."

Yuwen Kun's entire body was burning hot, and he felt increasingly distressed. Small flames flickered deep in his eyes, which he tried to control with his internal energy, but they only intensified, almost causing him to lose his mind.

"I……"

Lin Yuesha, adorned with jewelry, resembled a small, moving tree. She said with a clear conscience, "Be careful."

Then, without looking back, he ran straight to the main kitchen.

Halfway through the run, someone suddenly jumped out and pulled Lin Yuesha behind the artificial hill in the courtyard.

"Moonlight, have you sensed anything unusual?"

Qi Heng had just received the news when Helian Cheng made another foolish move, poisoning Yuwen Kun with the "Fish and Water Pleasure" drug.

"I am a little hot, could it be that I..."

Lin Yuesha thought it was because she was carrying too many things, which made her sweat profusely and feel hot all over, and she didn't think of anything else.

Upon hearing the name Yu Shui Huan, Lin Yue Sha understood.

"Helian Cheng has always treated me like Miaoyin, yet he betrays even his own people?"

Lin Yuesha immediately went limp, her legs sinking involuntarily.

No wonder Yuwen Kun acted strangely. Perhaps someone tampered with his dinner, or perhaps Lin Yuesha was careless. She considered herself one of Helian Cheng's people but overlooked the fact that Helian Cheng prioritized his own interests and that betraying his subordinates was no big deal for him.

When necessary, even Helian Cheng's own mother would betray him.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Qi Heng stretched out his arm and placed it in front of Lin Yuesha's mouth, saying, "If you feel uncomfortable, bite my hand to distract yourself."

In these extraordinary times, it is not advisable to stay at Helian City's residence for long. Qi Heng has already notified Aunt Ye and Granny Hua, who will meet him at the back gate of the residence.

Regardless, the priority is to ensure Lin Yuesha's safety and send her back to the border of Daqi.

"What about my cousin?"

Lin Yuesha felt dizzy and lightheaded, but it wasn't as serious as she had imagined. She recalled that she had vomited once in the tunnel, emptying her stomach completely and almost bringing up bile. Although it didn't help much, it at least provided some relief.

Fortunately, she didn't eat much for dinner. If she had lost control and forced herself on Qi Heng, Lin Yuesha would never have the face to face the people of Daqi for the rest of her life.

"He was also in the carriage."

Qi Heng explained that he had not planned to take any action tonight, but a group of men in black arrived at Helian Cheng's residence first, and Qi Heng judged that they were Yuwen Kun's men.

Those people were just using a smokescreen to entangle Helian Cheng; they didn't intend to make any big moves.

"My original intention was to remain inactive and observe the situation, but unexpectedly, two more groups of people arrived."

The two groups that followed were vastly different in strength. Qi Heng recognized one group's fighting style and judged them to be Wei family assassins, while the other group only had rudimentary skills and were just taking advantage of the chaos; they were probably Helian Cheng's enemies.

Since the scene was already in such a chaotic state, Qi Heng seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, sending his own men to follow behind and wait to reap the benefits.

Xu Da was successfully rescued, and the remaining treasures awaited an opportunity; they would retrieve as many as they could.

In any case, Qi Heng was confident that neither Yuwen Kun, Helian Cheng, nor the Wei family would gain any advantage.

Lin Yuesha leaned closer to Qi Heng, rubbed his face with her hand, and smiled, "It's so cool here."

"My wife, please wake up."

Qi Heng was groped and felt helpless. The Helian family was in chaos, and it was not the time for romance.

The word "wife" brought Lin Yuesha back to her senses slightly. Her face flushed, she pleaded, "I can't control myself anymore. If I do something indecent, you must protect your innocence and knock me unconscious without hesitation..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lin Yuesha was knocked unconscious by Qi Heng with a chop to the neck.
